Why I Kgn…
May 2015 KMRB NEWSLETTER
I love Kingston because its action packed. Daytime scenes in downtown Kingston are second to none. It is a sight to experience, as buyers try to get the best prices and sellers seek desperately to make a sale.
Another reason why I love Kingston is as a result of the people that you come in contact with daily. Everybody has a different story….from the man who jus’ a beg a fry dumpling’ from me as I enter a restaurant, to the woman, ready to tell me how hard she has worked to put her children through school.
As a sports loving person the attractive and varied sporting events which take place at venues such as the National Stadium and Caymanas Park definitely keep the adrenalin rushing…lovely Kingston!

Walk Good POTUS…
1
And so it came to pass. The President of the United States visited Jamaica. Of course we would want to say he visited Kingston, Jamaica. For all intents and purposes, we are the ones who hosted him for his brief but tremendously significant visit.
Thank you is in order to all the airport staff, which, from all accounts, did an exemplary job. Perhaps that is why he was able to go straight to his musical icon's former home that is now Bob Marley Museum. It was interesting to see the President greeting everyone with a taste of local injection. "Hello Massive" was both amusing and respectful.
We at KMRB want to thank all those persons and organizations which contributed to the success of this visit.
Like all events in Jamaica, there are the naysayers who will wonder at the efficacy of the expenditure and ask what we are getting out of it. So at the macro level, particularly those of us
3
Imagine sitting on your balcony somewhere around 6pm, having cocktails. The sun has set and that special orange glow covers the horizon. The entertainment area is ‘in the round’ and you can simply look out to see and listen. And so the area is soon filled with members of the Jamaica Folk Singers, caressing a medley of songs, dressed in full national costume. Oh how wonderful a place it is.
Then there is Trench Town and all the wonderful things being talked about. The completion of Culture Yard will soon see this iconic address coming into its own and will no doubt help to spur on the needed creativity and investment for some space at another level. After all, Culture is big business and the largest and most condensed area of culture falls within the Kingston Metropolitan Resort Area. So tell us about your cultural product so we can join you to celebrate.
Chairman’s Corner by James Samuels

concerned with tourism, we will seek to optimize each opportunity to show all and every aspect of the President's visit. As if we were not already more than a beach, it was clearly another side of Jamaica on display. So at the academic and young people gathering, we felt proud at the level and caliber of questioning reserved for the President, which hopefully will show to the world the product of our education system.
We think that Jamaica was and has remained somewhat in the spot-‐light for a number of positive reasons. That we have these conditions, which we agreed upon and are being applied to Jamaica by the IMF, and which we have honoured, notwithstanding the now universal recognition that in the history of the IMF, so poor have not been asked to pay so much for so little. So we deserve another look at those rates and we think the President's visit will help to make this happen.
Culture, as we have always said, is the bloodstream of Jamaica's greatness.

NATIONAL LABOUR DAY PROJECT 2015
…we welcome the new Marriott Courtyard and will brag about the quality of our hotel rooms, which is certain to be enhanced by the new owners of the former Wyndham

The National Project for Labour Day 2015 is the Rudolph Elder Park in Morant Bay St. Thomas. The Theme for this year is “Labour of Love: nurturing our children.” The focus is deservedly so on our children. It will be observed on Monday, May 25. The work at the park is aimed at creating a safe recreational space for our children and includes improvement works to the facilities
2
such as the sanitary conveniences, fencing, landscaping and painting of the buildings.
Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller noted at the recent launch that “the day will be used to promote family values and to remind Jamaicans of the need to give life to the proverb ‘It takes a village to raise a child’.
3
Persons are being encouraged to join volunteers at the park or identify a community centre or park near you where children-‐friendly spaces can be created, where relaxation and family attachments can be strengthened.

Basil Smith, Jamaica’s former Director of Tourism has two loves; Jamaica and the Bahamas. So much so that he has spent his entire working life going between these two most beautiful gems of the Caribbean. But it is no wonder he has a foot in each, as his father was Bahamian and his mother Jamaican. He
describes his birth as a consequence of World War 2. Both his father and mother volunteered and
that’s how they met. After the war dad stayed in England to complete his studies in agronomy and his mom returned to Jamaica with the kids. Basil studied journalism and did a short stint at the now defunct Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation. Due to political influences at the time he found it quite frustrating. He discovered tourism. To him it was exciting and engaging. His media background allowed him to start off at the Bahamas Tourism News Bureau where he left Jamaica to work. Those were exhilarating times, the industry was in growth mode and he was constantly on the move promoting the positive aspects of the country. After the Bahamas Tourism Bureau he did some time in Jamaica and then headed back to the Bahamas where he took up a post in the Ministry of Tourism. The opportunity came up for him to buy the company that did PR for the Bahamian government and he jumped right in. This gave him the chance to operate that company’s office from Miami. Basil came back to Jamaica and took on the task of Deputy Director of Tourism. At the time the JTB was under the leadership of Director Faye Pickersgill. He did that for a few years but before returning to the Bahamas he was fortunate to participate in the field work for Jamaica’s Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism Development. Upon his return to the Bahamas, this time as Executive Vice President of the Bahamas Hotel Association he spent much of his energies lobbying for industry interests. Basil later became the Director of Communication (worldwide) for the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism. He did a very successful re-‐branding of the Bahamas destination and some of the smaller islands. His other love was calling him and so in 2006 he took up the charge
2
at Jamaica’s Tourist Board, as its Director where he served for almost three years. Due to his father’s illness he curtailed his contract and went back to Nassau, but not for too long. He came back to Jamaica where he took up a consultancy role with the Tourism Enhancement Fund, that being his latest assignment. The wealth of experiences gained has put Basil Smith in perfect stead for establishing his own Integrated Marketing Communication consultancy where he is among other things, involved in publishing destination maps for Jamaica and the Bahamas. He is thrilled as this gives the destination collateral pieces at minimal cost. But why Tourism? Basil feels that tourism is a vibrant industry which is always growing. “It’s still the fastest after petro chemicals. Even though pundits were saying the industry is bad and fickle none of those predictions have proved to be accurate. Even after the recession, nine eleven, tourism has bounced back. I believe it’s a testament to man defending his rights to enjoy the benefits of his labour” he quips.
Of all the things that Basil would like to see happen in Jamaica’s tourism at this time, it is the resort of Portland fulfilling its true potential. “It has languished, its fortunes have waned and even though some investment is taking place through Lee Chin, I would like to see more investments by corporate Jamaica in attractions, capitalizing on the experiences of the interior of Jamaica.” Basil would also like to see the
development of “time share” in Jamaica. “People who own time share are loyal to the destination. With legislation on the way, hopefully it will soon be a reality”. When asked why he loves Kingston he was unhesitating. “The St. Andrew hills and mountains, especially Stony Hill, I spent much of my childhood there, my mother’s side of the family the Hansons are from that area. When I live in Jamaica I wouldn’t live anywhere else, in part for family reasons. Panton Road is named after my Grandfather. It’s fabulous living in Stony Hill. Also there are more restaurants coming back on stream now. At one time Kingston had some fabulous restaurants some went away but they are coming back now, there is a lot of culinary activity, live music is coming back and new hotel rooms are coming on stream. The city is gaining momentum which we lost for a while. One aspect that disturbs me though is the human dereliction that we see on the streets; we must take sufficient care and do something about that” Basil can be contacted at basilsbox@gmail.com.

JAMAICA FILM FESTIVAL -‐ TRANSFORMING JAMAICA
The Jamaica Film Festival, scheduled to be held in Kingston, July 7-11, 2015, is shaping up to be an exciting one, which will showcase the talents of the best and brightest in the Jamaican film industry. The festival promises to be a dynamic cinematic and cultural event. In keeping with the tradition of contemporary film festivals worldwide, JAMPRO made a decision to open the call for submission of films to international entries. As a result the Film Commission has received just under 200 submissions worldwide from countries spanning across the six continents from Australia to Columbia and Myanmar, to name a few. There will be a music day, to include: workshops; and a live reggae concert, at the Tuff Gong International Recording Studios. An exclusive beach party is planned for the Saturday, which is geared to be a celebration of ʻfun in the sun,ʼ against the bliss of the majestic Blue Mountains, as
backdrop in the distance. The city of Kingston will come alive as the patrons of the festival enjoy the unique opportunity to experience why the Jamaican culture is so infectious. The capital city offers unparalleled culinary experiences; a vibrant nightlife; museums and galleries rich in culture; as well as, the warm hospitality of the Jamaican people. Kingston boasts restaurants owned by and named after three of our iconic sports superstars, including Usain Boltʼs Tracks and Records, Courtney Walshʼs Cuddyʼz and Chris Gayleʼs Triple Century. In addition, the metropolis is home to the fourth best place to have ice cream in the world, available at Devon House. This Great House was built in the late 19th century as the residence of the first Black Jamaican millionaire; and, it t is a masterpiece of Caribbean Victorian architecture and elegance. The idea is to introduce local filmmakers and industry personnel to other independent films being produced around the world and the stories of their journey to complete these films. It is also an opportunity for the Jamaican audience to experience films from other cultures especially those made outside of North America, that may interest them and that they can relate to. According to JAMPRO President, Diane Edwards, “the addition of the international films will help to raise the profile of the Jamaica Film Festival giving it more of an international appeal and to create an opportunity for local filmmakers to interact with their peers worldwide.” The genres range from Drama to Action and a few animated films. JAMPRO is very excited about screening the international films proving that Jamaicaʼs film industry is one that is inclusive and committed to the art of filmmaking regardless of its origin. They are especially pleased that the International film community and the Diaspora have had a very positive response to the festival and we have commitments from the Bahamas and Trinidad Film Festivals to screen our winning local films at their respective film festivals.

With a media buzz swirling around controversial statements from a popular musician about the ‘failure’ of officials to have the United States expunge Marcus Garvey’s criminal records -‐ Kgn Calling used the opportunity to shed some historical light on the man who inspired not only a nation to greatness, but inspired the negro race worldwide. Marcus Mosiah Garvey, quite possibly defies the adage – a prophet has no honour in his own country as he ascended to the highest honour of the nation before any other Jamaican. Being named the first National Hero was not attained without controversy, and though his honour was conferred post-‐humously it was a gesture befitting the giant of a man that would be credited with advancing the Pan-‐Africanism and Black Nationalism Movements in a very turbulent time for blacks globally. Biography.com describes the man as “an orator for the Black Nationalism and Pan-‐Africanism movements” that would eventually go on to found the UNIA – Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1912 and African Communities League -‐ Garvey advanced a Pan-‐African philosophy which inspired a global mass movement, known as Garveyism. Garveyism would eventually inspire others, from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement. His early travels, exposure to a variety of literature, academic pursuits and apprenticeship experiences stirred in Garvey a passion of political activism – he would eventually expand the goal of the UNIA to include the unification of ‘all African Diaspora to establish a country and absolute government of their own’. In 1916, after corresponding with Booker T Washington -‐ Garvey settled in New York City and formed a UNIA chapter in Harlem to promote a separatist philosophy of social, political, and economic freedom for blacks. In 1918, Garvey began publishing the widely distributed newspaper Negro World to convey his message. UP You Mighty Race… and the spoke in the wheel.
By 1919, Marcus Garvey and UNIA had launched the Black Star Line, a shipping company that would establish trade and commerce between Africans in America, the Caribbean, South and Central America, Canada and Africa. At the same time, Garvey started the Negros Factories Association, a series of companies that would manufacture marketable commodities in every big industrial center in the Western hemisphere and Africa.
It was while in the United States where Garvey had launched businesses to promote a separate black nation that he was convicted of mail fraud and deported to Jamaica, he continued his work for black repatriation to Africa.

Continued from previous page… Marcus Garvey spoke of having pride in African history and culture. Many found his words inspiring, but not all. In 1922, Garvey along with three other UNIA officials were charged with mail fraud involving the Black Star Line. This case was a culmination of a series of efforts to criminalise and eventually deport Garvey. UNIA efforts to advertise passage on a ship to be named the SS Phyllis Wheatley, and the subsequent failure of the Black Star Line to complete the sale, formed the core of the Department of Justice's prosecution against Garvey." ( Ewing, The Age of Garvey, p.115). The trial records indicate several improprieties occurred in the prosecution of the case. It didn't help that the shipping line's books contained many accounting irregularities – glaring among them being the all-‐white jury. On June 23, 1923, Garvey was convicted and sentenced to prison for five years. Claiming to be a victim of a politically motivated miscarriage of justice, Garvey appealed his conviction, but was denied. In 1927 he was released from prison and deported to Jamaica. In 2011 then Minister of Youth Sports and Culture the Hon Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange lamented the failed efforts of her colleagues who tried before her and spoke to his contributions to the upliftment of his race. “Garvey was named a National Hero but, in the Court records, he is still a criminal.” Fast Track to present day Jamaica – there are once again renewed calls to have the national hero’s name cleared.
The visit of the President of the United States, Barack Obama has once again thrown into sharp focus the need to settle the matter.
We celebrate the legacy of The Right Excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey and invite you to share your views on this synopsis or any other article and help keep the discourse alive.
“If we as a people realized the greatness from which we came, we would be less

Back at it again, this time midway the Grants Pen Road corridor. We’re in pursuit of gourmet delights at Café What’s On...

No disrespect intended they do afford their patrons a call in service
to avoid a protracted wait for a point breakfast, lunch or happy hour faire. If you don’t mind the wait time the gallery’s quaint appeal with works from emerging artists is an ideal appetiser.
Café What’s On is a beautiful escape for

Corporate Kingston professionals and art loving crowd to enjoy a good and healthy meal.
They keep the menu fresh by introducing daily specials moderately priced. For breakfast patrons may choose from a selection that’s both a ‘belly full’ or sweet and syrupy with complimentary coffee or tea between 7 and 10 a.m. For lunch their regular menu options are ‘sandwiches & stuff’ and are all served with fries and cole slaw or lemony mixed greens -‐ guaranteed total deliciousness.
There’s a natural juice menu and café listing that has something for everyone from Immune Booster to Iced Cappuccino and herbal tea. You can also pair your faire with some good wine or a beer.
The health conscious, weight-‐watcher, vegetarian enthusiast can be sure to find some fresh, crisp salads with optional dressings.
We’d say more… but honestly we’d rather have you go try it out, or if you’ve been, go try something new!
